“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. – J Robert Oppenheimer.

Since ‘they’ seem to have the MSM completely tied-up and on-side, we must hope that the recent crescendo of Climate Change b*****it signifies their growing panic as they’re realising that they’ve peaked – and will soon be found out.

Oh dear, it really is all hyperbole with this lot – Myles Allen is a quite unconscionable dissembler of half truths and weasel statistics but then, the global warming alarmunists – aren’t they all?

Trump, “the Donald” is about to throw an enormous spanner in their workings and as God is my witness not before time it must be said. However, the major worry factor insofar as I am concerned, is that, Mother Theresa of Dismay is a full on believer in the climate rot and with her Brussels minders, together they show no sign of giving up on the insane green dream and therefore the continuance of the journey to green hell and ruination: de-industrialization of Britain.

What “the Donald” needs to do is, not only defund the likes of NOAA, GISS, NSIDC, EPA et bloody cetera – President Trump needs to bin the UN, the nexus of OWG.

It seems to run like europhilia did – one has hopes that an incoming minister will follow previous form and show scepticism, but when they come under the control of their Civil “Servants”, they knuckle under. Perhaps, in the absence of a “Donald”, we should be going for the Civil Service.

Oh indeed, the UK civil service is the enemy and it is they who imbibe deep at the fount of the Brussels tap rooms, that was always the idea Paddy.

The EU started the transformation right at the beginning – the local government act was it. But they didn’t need to bother with the FO – for they had gone ‘native’ well actually run by Soviet sympathizers in the Thirties and post WWII totally gave up on Britain in the Fifties, it was get into the ECSC and uncle Sam was pushing hard – too. It wasn’t hard for the rest of the civil service to fall into line but from the early days of town twinning when local councillors and town mayors went off to be indoctrinated in EUrope [common market as they insuociantly named it in those days] – Britain was being subsumed, Maastricht was when Britain really ended, the lisbon constitution wot wasn’t a constitution broke whatever vestiges of UK sovereignty existed.

It and when, maybe if the British ever do escape the Brussels Empire, then the UK civil service will need en mass, trauma counselling concerning brainwashing and a full debriefing – thanks to being 60 odd years away with the EU fairies in a Communist state of mind.

These two supposed “scientists” from Oxford University are actually part of the Environmental Change Institute, they may do (or once did) genuine science but it is 100% certain that they are doing marketing for their Institute, whose income relies on scary stories about “change”.

You can’t be a professional environmentalist and a scientist at the same time, due to conflicts of interest, a bit like your GP being an employee of a drug company, you’ll end up with a fake diagnosis and full of pills for it, sometimes they won’t work, sometimes they will harm you, rather like “action” to tackle CC.

“The vast numbers affected by the effects of climate change, such as flooding, drought and forest fires, mean that potentially people, organisations and even countries could be seeking compensation for the damage caused. “It’s not a question we could stand up and survive in a court of law at the moment, but it’s the sort of question we should be working towards scientifically,” Myles Allen, a physicist at Oxford University, UK, told the BBC World Service’s Discovery programme.”

“Some of it might be down to things you’d have trouble suing – like the Sun – so you obviously need to work how particularly human influence has contributed to the overall change in risk,” the scientist, who has worked with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said.” “But once you’ve done that, then we as scientists can essentially hand the problem over to the lawyers, for them to assess whether the change in risk is enough for the courts to decide that a settlement could be made.”

“But once you’ve done that, then we as scientists can essentially hand the problem over to the lawyers, for them to assess whether the change in risk is enough for the courts to decide that a settlement could be made.”
Good luck with that! That was then (2003) with legal action nowadays you’d have to prove very convincingly that AGW was the cause of the harm by giving…. guess what? Evidence. And there would be very interesting ‘debates’ in public too. Bring it on!

Those UK doylums who are almost self appointed and name themselves as judges…….. being so full on authoritarian and of course it follows therefore – EU devotees are also fully on board with the green psychosis. Thus empiricle evidence is not required – all the judges need is the opinion of some advocate, div, expert, Berk just like Myles and his coating of wonderful vary as you like it and multicoloured statistics.

Weasel words from Myles Allen as he knows full well there’s zero chance of proving or disproving such a subjective claim as ‘40% more likely’. It does allow him to get a letter published though, which was the whole point.

He’s going to have a lot more to worry about in the next few months though once Trump blows the whole climate scam sky-high. I cannot wait. 🙂

You start to lose your faith in science when staff from the greatest university in the world resort to issuing simple, plain and unadulterated rubbish with impunity. Why does the university not sack these sort of people and protect it’s reputation rather than allow it to be trashed?

PEI today has a few very interesting reports, such as the Agora – Sandbag report on EU fuel burns / emissions. The usual cover-ups where hydro and wood burning are treated as renewables to make the case look better than it is.

Seeing as how Myles is such a good scientist (cough), perhaps he can explain how the addition of , what, 4, ‘man-made’ extra molecules (out of 20, generally – 380-400ppm) of CO2 into the atmosphere can cause such climate disruption – and in (always) a negative way?

That it was only 10% likely and climate change has made it 14% likely now? I can live with that frankly.

Or since it happened, it was 100% likely, so is it now 140% likely?

In any event, it’s utter nonsense, unless he can demonstrate he knows for certain all the probabilities of the alternatives. And since he cannot possibly know those, he cannot make any sensible claims whatsoever.

Sounds like a way of avoiding having to provide any proof of his claim. The other claim that the ‘heatwave’ in the Arctic would likely not have happened without human CO2 emissions might be easier to challenge since it involved changes in the Jetstream. Simple question – how has the increase in CO2 caused the pattern of the Jetstream to change? It can’t be the hotspot in the troposphere at the tropics as that has been shown not to exist. and if he can’t answer it then there goes the ‘settled Science’ claim.

Super-storm Hurricane Sandy is the result of all our added CO2, and this will become X% more common”??

from Wikipedia…

“Hurricane Sandy not the first to hit New York: A 1938 storm ‘The Long Island Express’ pounded the Eastern Seaboard. The storm formed near the coast of Africa in September of the 1938 hurricane season, becoming a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on Long Island on September 21.
Long Island was struck first, before New England, Vermont, New Hampshire and Quebec, earning the storm the nickname the ‘Long Island Express’. The winds reached up to 150 mph and had waves surging to around 25–35 feet high.[The destruction was immense and took a while to rebuild. The western side of the hurricane caused sustained tropical storm-force winds, high waves, and storm surge along much of the New Jersey coast. In Atlantic City the surge destroyed much of the boardwalk. Additionally, the surge inundated several coastal communities; Wildwood was under 3 feet (0.91 m) of water at the height of the storm. The maximum recorded wind gust was 70 m.p.h. at Sandy Hook.”

Extremes will be X%? more common…

BRITISH ISLES: London, July 10. “England is sweltering and suffering the worst drought in a century. Today was the seventy-eighth virtually rainless day. For the third successive day temperatures have exceeded 100. The rainfall for the year is less than one-third normal to date.” July 1921…

Thinkers those who seek to betterment through logic and reasoning – are all embarrassed, Oxford and Cambridge used to rise above the middling, always striving for the truth, what are the great laws of science if not, the truth?
